Tal Howard, a disillusioned Korean War veteran, breaks away from
his old life, looking for answers. He's convinced he's going to
find them in the small town of Hillston, the location of 60 grand
in embezzled funds that Howard learned about from a dying friend in
a POW camp. He just needs to find out where the money is hidden and
contend with another former POW who has come looking for it--Earl
Fitzmartin, a psychopath of whom they were all terrified in the
camp. Howard soon learns that the secret to the money's location
lies in the dead man's past, which must be discovered through the
women he knew, such as the respectable Ruth Stamm and the sultry
and dangerous Toni Rassele. Now featuring a new biography of John
D. MacDonald and an essay exploring the paperback revolution of the
mid-20th century, this early novel by a crime writing legend
features classic hard-boiled writing, brutal action, tough
characters, and a plot in which no one is spared.
